Responsible Gambling
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Fatpirate is committed to providing an entertaining and safe gaming environment for all players. We believe gambling should always remain a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial difficulties. This page outlines the tools and resources available to help you stay in control of your play, last updated in 2026.
Recognising the Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, and recognising early warning signs is important. These may include chasing losses, spending more time or money than intended, neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities, borrowing money to gamble, or feeling anxious, irritable, or secretive about your gambling habits. If you notice these behaviours in yourself or someone close to you, it may be time to seek support or use the tools described below.
Setting Deposit Limits
Fatpirate allows players to set deposit limits on their accounts to help manage spending over daily, weekly, or monthly periods. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased immediately; any request to raise a limit is subject to a cooling-off period to ensure the decision is considered carefully. Reducing your limit, however, takes effect immediately.
Taking a Time-Out
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, our time-out feature allows you to temporarily suspend your account for a set period, such as 24 hours, seven days, or one month. During this time you will be unable to access your account or place any bets. This option is designed for players who want a pause without committing to a longer-term exclusion.
Self-Exclusion Options
For players who require a longer-term or permanent break from gambling, Fatpirate offers a self-exclusion facility. Once activated, self-exclusion prevents account access for the chosen duration and cannot be reversed early, ensuring the measure remains effective. Players considering self-exclusion are encouraged to also reach out to independent support services for additional guidance.
Reality Checks and Account Activity Reminders
To help players stay aware of their gambling habits, Fatpirate provides periodic reminders showing session length and activity summaries. These reality checks are designed to encourage mindful play by prompting you to reflect on time and money spent. You can adjust the frequency of these reminders within your account settings.
Gambling and Minors
Fatpirate strictly prohibits access to its services by anyone under the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. Age verification checks are conducted to prevent underage gambling, and any accounts found to belong to minors will be closed immediately with funds handled in accordance with our terms. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites.
Seeking Independent Support
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, independent support organisations in Australia offer confidential counselling, helplines, and self-assessment tools. These services are free, generally available around the clock, and separate from any gambling operator. We encourage all players to consult local support resources for professional advice tailored to their situation.
Reviewing Your Account History
Fatpirate provides players with access to their transaction and betting history, allowing you to review deposits, withdrawals, and wagering activity over time. Regularly checking this information can help you stay accountable and identify any patterns that may need attention. This feature is available at any time through your account dashboard.
Ongoing Review of This Policy
Fatpirate periodically reviews its responsible gambling practices to ensure they remain effective and aligned with current best practices. This page will be updated as needed, with the most recent update reflected as of 2026. We encourage players to revisit this page periodically to stay informed of the tools and resources available to them.
